which controller to use? - Samsung Gear VR

I just got my GVR and now I need a controller (game pad). I really like the bluetooth PS4 white controller. Has anyone tried it and does it work good with the GVR? Which controller do you use if not this one? Thanks.

Check out this thread, I think it should answer most of your controller questions:

Doubtful. Screens BIG but not that BIG..
@diigibio
Did u read anythin? I guess he doesnt mean PS3 or XBox games but the controller on HTC HD2.
@orzech.miron
I guess it wont work. The Controller have more than 8 buttons and I guess the power consumption is a problem too. Another problems are the drivers, but im sure it will be developed in the future ;D.
The Xbox controllers user wireless radio to communicate with the Xbox, so that's a no.
The PS3 controllers, however, use bluetooth, so it's not that big a deal to make them work. You just need specific software to handle the controller communication. This is where your question falls over. You need a dev with bluetooth knowledge to do this.
Maybe beg or donate and it will happen
It would be great to play psx emu using ps3 controller
and i think, that many people would like to have app like this
Zeemote mate
http://www.zeemote.com/
According to the website, its not supported in Windows Mobile
1. We either need drivers that work for the BGP100 controller...
2. Someone to make the Wiimote work over bluetooth
3. http://www.beinteractive.co.kr/eng/products-p3.asp?prnum=3&prrnum=1
Has somone got some links to bluetooth joys that work with the HD2?
Preferably one's with at least 1 set of shoulder buttons so SNES games can be played
Thanks
If you are interested in alternatives to the MSI or Chainpus BGP100 bluetooth gamepad, google search "modded by bacteria" go to the "work in progress" section of his forums, and search for the thread "Re-housed Bluetooth controller". The creator of the site, Bacteria, will be transplanting the innards of the BGP100 into an SNES controller. Previously, he has transplanted it into a PS1 controller. It seams feasible to DIY into almost any controller housing.

You posted this exact same post 17 times in different threads, which is fine if they're all current threads.... but there's no reason to dig up a thread that's been dead for 5 months to post a message that you posted all over the place.
My bad dude. I don't know where people might come across it. I know I myself have looked all over XDA-Developers for a solution and they all appear to be dead-ended so I thought I would give people glimmer of hope.

[Q] HDMI out and Gaming

Can you run games on the big screen via the HDMI out from the dock?

Any experience with Dell Streak or Streak7? I don't know that it handles HDMI output the same as TouchWiz does.

I've played a bunch of different snes games with the dock and they all worked fine for me. Used a wii remote and had them on the big screen

Awesome! I just need an HDMI cable, since I got the dock already. Can't wait!
My apologies for the ignorance but please elaborate.
So I can put my S7 in the dock, HDMI out to the tv and use a Wii remote to control the game on my S7?
What apps and settings do I need to make this happen?

I don't know, though, if this supports the analog controllers with the Classic Controller on PSX4Droid (that's what I'm hoping for), but it'll work fine for the Wiimote, nuncheck, and Classic using the digital controls for sure. The app itself does support analog input, but the emulator dev has to enable it. I haven't had time to test it out, yet (darned HC ROM taking up all my free time ).
When it scans for my Wii controller it doesn't see it. Am I forgetting something?

Yes, I use Snesoid and the wiimote app and I can play snes roms on my tv using the hdmi out on the dock and a regular wii remote. Been playing different roms for the last couple weeks, don't know if psx works or not though.

I replied to you on another thread; probably the same thing here. Streakdroid has known kernel issues that affect bluetooth. Switch to rooted or stock 2.2.2.
Yep the dock works well. Thing I cant figure out tho. Audio doesnt output through the hdmi?? Seems I have to use Line Out for sound or the device itself.
Also learned using the wiimote, I can control the tablet menus and so as well. No need to use the touch screen. =D
Was playing F-zero X last night hehe.
Wish the HDMI out worked on Honeystreak...

i'm not to sure on this one but the original xbox controller works for sure but this one is a generic version of the xbox controller so it may or may not work but the only way to find out if it does is to buy it & try it out its only 10 bucks so you won't be losing that much if it doesn't work
i myself use a ps3 controller with the sixaxis controller app :good:

Sixaxis controller

Hey guys. Im currently owning a htc one x+. I like sense, but with sense 4+ based roms my favorite app ( sixaxis controller) doesnt work. I'm thinking about getting the htc one, but i have to know if sixaxis controller app works. Can anyone help me?

Can't do it since I haven't rooted my device yet. :S

Google play is telling me that its compatible.
If you're rooted install this app (free) to see if sixaxis will work or not.
I can't get it to work :/
It doesn't work. I was pretty disappointed considering i could even use a sixaxis controller on my iPhone
I remember reading that it has something to do with the bluetooth drivers HTC uses
Hi,
I'm new here and would start with this:
It's sad to here, that the HTC One doesn't support Sixaxis, I really hoped for that...
Is there any way to get the controller working e.g. with some kind of bluetooth dongle that emulates a keyboard to use it over an OTG cable?

It will work with a OTG cable but if the games doesn't have gamepad support, you would need the Sixaxis app.to map the keys.

I'm mainly trying to use the HTC One with SNESDroid, wich has gamepad support as far as I know.
What will happen if i connect two Sixaxis Controller over USB?
Will the HTC One regognize both controllers separatly?

No they will be seen as the same pad.
This is ridiculous on HTC's part and i'm seeing it as a complete deal breaker, i love this phone but this is a load of crap.
No controllers are working over USB OTG for me, anyone managed to get them to work?
Moga Pro working well however.
Try a custom kernel.

The moga works wirelessly I'm guessing? I was tempted to get it but never did because sixaxis always worked for me. Since apparently it doesn't on this phone, I may get the moga if it works wirelessly .

What's moga by the way? As for the six axis app, I'm guessing it'll work on aosp or cyanogen based ROMs.

i have the pocket moga and it works fine. Make sure to get the universal driver to use it in unsupported games:

the pro controller should basically mimic what a ps3 controller does

First unlock your HTC ONE, then recovery, then backup your original rom just in case. Install Viper ROM 1.1.0 along with Elemntal X kernel search forums here in xda. Download them and put both in a folder of choice on your internal sd card. Wipe factory reset, flash Viper ROM then flash Elemntal X kernel. Reboot, rebooot again (yes, twice). Connect OTG cable, no power add-on needed, direct cable only ($6 ebay) along with PS3 controller usb wired of course. Open game. Play. No sixaxis needed, kernel recognizes the contoller right away. Games it works with that I have and know for sure work. MC4, Max Payne, Shadow Gun, GTA 3 anniv. addition, Dead Trigger, havent tryed Nova yet but im sure it works, Sonic. Most of these games you cant configure buttons for so the kernel does the mapping for you that you cant change. NOTE: After market PS3 controllers dont work, work but some options dont work in game like shoot, BIG ONE lol. XBOX 360 works, but for the games that have button mapping ONLY. You loose options in game with ones that dont have mapping, like again, shooting. HOPE THIS HELPS EVERYONE!!!!!

Yea but then you have the issue of using a wired controller, I already knew that you could do that.
The whole fascination is that it's "Wireless", hence why were talking about bluetooth working with Sense, it's an age old issue which has plagued HTC's phones and the only way around it usually is to run an AOSP or Cyanagen based ROM.
Using the Moga allows you to keep sense and have a pad that works over BT.
Appreciate the input but it defeats the object.

ps3 sixaxis & wii u pro controllers

First post, thanks for this great forum!
Wasn't sure if this should be posted here or in the Q&A forum so forgive me if I've misposted.
First, I'm sure the answer is yes, but are the sixaxis ps3 controllers still limited to rooted nook HD's?? I've done alot of seaching and I've seen ICS natively supports them so I was hoping it had changed.
Second, can the wii u pro controller connect to a stock nook HD through a wii controller app the same as a wii controller?
I've searched both these topics here and elsewhere without a dinfinitive answer so hopefully I'm not repeating a previous thread.
Thanks in advance!
So Sixaxis is supposed to work for a rooted Nook HD+? I haven't been able to get it working.
i have a dual shock 3 that works but you need to change the mac address of the controller first (via an app on pc/mac), then i used the sixaxis app from the play store to connect the controller. i'd be interested in checking out the wii u pro controller but i've been content just using the wiimote w/ the classic pro controller attached and it's working just fine for me, even if it is a bit clunky to carry all that stuff around. if you don't feel like putting in the legwork you could always just pay the $34.99 for a moga controller since it's probably the closest you'll get to an official android controller

You can a DS3 with sixaxis controller app on rooted stock 2.1.1.
Sorry its likely a silly question but Im thinking of buying a controller but Ive never owned a games console. Do I need a wired one or a usb, or blue tooth one to use with my nook?
thanks
